Btw nobody forced us into Islam.
Most, almost all Muslim nations were converted to Islam after being conquered by sword.
That includes Bosniaks, Albanians, Iranians, Egyptians, Berbers etc.
Turkic tribes are big exception.
When Arabs were trying to bring Islam to Turks with their armies, Turks crushed them.
Khazars crushed Arabs in Caucasus and the Turgishes crushed Arabs in Central Asia. So Charles Martel and Tours Battle wasn't only time when Arabs were stopped at war
Muslim Persian and Khwarezmian missionaries later went to the rulers of Tengrist Turks and converted the individuals, leaders of Turks.
And the folk seeing their leaders turning into a new religion, they followed them. That's how it happened for Turks.
Volga Bulgars being first, when their Khan Alamish turned Muslim in 922 AD.
Seljuks who created Turkey became Muslim in 990s in north of Central Asia when the tribal leader named Seljuk Bey converted himself.
